#1 Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free; makes approximately 18 large cookies)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons oat flour (blend GF oats in a high-speed blender)

• ¼ cup blanched almond flour

• ¼ cup arrowroot flour

• ¼ cup almond butter

• ¼ cup coconut blossom sugar

• ¼ cup maple syrup (or your favourite liquid sweetener)

• ¼ cup coconut oil

• 3 tablespoons psyllium husk

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt (or ¾ teaspoon pink Himalayan)

• 1 cup Raiz The Bar Classic Authentic Me, chopped into small chunks (approx. 3 bars)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

2. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, except chocolate chunks.

3. In a separate medium size bowl, combine wet ingredients.

4. Combine wet ingredients into dry ingredient bowl and mix well with a spatula, whisk or hands into a well-incorporated dough; it should be quite wet. Fold in the chocolate chunks.

5. On a parchment-lined baking tray, measure approximately 2 teaspoons for each cookie, ensuring they are separated as they will spread as they bake.

6. Bake cookies for 11 minutes (may vary from oven to oven).

7. Allow to cool completely on a rack. Cookies store well in an airtight glass container on the countertop
